Islamic Philosophy and Universality – Ikhwan al-Safa - As Example

Abstract

One of the most important key features that distinguished Islamic philosophy is its universal and holistic dimension, which stems from the general goals and
purposes upon which Islamic law is based. It is directed towards the whole rather than just some segments of society, and the philosophical models it has
known confirm this. The Ikhwan al-Safa (Brethren of Purity) is among the philosophical groups that carved out its distinctive path in the fields of
philosophical knowledge. Despite the secrecy surrounding the names that founded this philosophical sect, it was more comprehensive in terms of its
philosophy and the universal system it aspired to achieve.
